The other side

The far side of the lake is being buttressed the same way as the bund, something that should have been done long ago. Anyhow, better late than never! If I'm seeing it right, with the monsoon on now, maybe we will see the Lat surrounded with water even after the river recedes.

Fwd: : OLD FART PRIDE

Subject: Fwd: : OLD FART PRIDE

 
I'm  passing this on as I did not want to be the only  old fart receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad  thing to be so called, as you will see.

Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the Jana Gana Mana, Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.

Old Farts remember World War II, 1948, the Chinese aggression, the '65 war, the '71 war, Yahya Khan and the British tyrants. They remember the Atomic Age, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing.  
If you bump into an Old Fart on the sidewalk he will apologize. If you pass an Old Fart on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old Farts trust strangers and are courteous to women. 
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection. 
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any filth or  dirty language on TV or in movies.
Old  Farts have moral courage and personal integrity. They seldom brag unless it's about their children or grandchildren.  
It's the Old Farts who know our great country is protected, not by politicians, but by the young men in the Armed Forces, serving their country. 
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic, sense of responsibility, pride in their country and  decent values. 
We need them now more than ever.    
Thank God for Old Farts! 
 
Pass this on to all the Old Farts you know.
 
I was taught to respect my elders. Now that I'm getting on in age, It's just getting harder to find the Old Farts!!
